Meeting agrees cuts to radioactive emissions [PDF]
Nature, 1998 Europe's nuclear industry will have to make "substantial reductions" to emissions of radioactive substances by the year 2000 following a decision reached by the continent's environment ministers at last week's meeting of the so-called Ospar convention (see above) in Sintra, Portugal.

The impact of strong solar flares on thorium beta radiation count-rate [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2023 This study explores the impact of solar flare events on radioactive materials, focusing in particular on the thorium decay chain. Previous research has indicated that gamma emitters are affected by solar flares, resulting in count-rate dips.

Radioactive Aerosols Emission in Fires [PDF]
Aerosol Science and Technology, 1995 The inner walls of glove-boxes used in nuclear facilities may be contaminated by radioactive aerosols. It is therefore necessary to be able to predict the release rate of these aerosols in the case of a fire. This phenomenon has been studied in a small-scale test-chamber (volume 0.085 m3), using 10 cm × 10 cm Plexiglas samples, with cerium oxide (CeO2)
